    god created humans and pretended to give them some pretend freedom knowing many would ‘choose’ evil. god is, itself, inherently evil.

    humans are just its excuse.

    god is also a pathetic whiner, but only if you read all the literature about it.

      Not a Christian so to my understanding evil comes from imperfection. Like how darkness is the lack of light. If god wanted to make something perfect they would have made more of themselves, but instead here we are

          More like transcends perfection. It would be slightly more accurate to say god is the source of all knowledge rather than all knowing but even these are inaccurate since I’m taught anything we say about them is likely inaccurate, so we say God is all knowing in our prayers more to remind ourself that God is aware of everything we do or think so we might correct our actions

    Canonically speaking, according to the lore, God is a huuuuge dick, so if you believe God exists at all, it’s not hard to believe he’s up there throwing hurricanes and fires at us just because he can. Because he’s a dick.

    If a god created the entire universe and even time itself, that would lead us to believe that everything is happening according to a grand plan. Fate is the ruler of the universe and every action is predetermined. If a god has the ability to create every single atom and set it in motion, it should also know the atoms entire journey through to the end of “time”.

    However, if the universe is simply a metaphorical byproduct of a kid with a chemistry set, then that would explain a few things. Chaos is king. However, our true Lord and Savior, Ian Malcom, tells us that order arises from Chaos, and that every system will eventually self-arrange. Through his teachings and wisdom, we can also prove that the universe is deterministic even if it was born into Chaos.

    From these points we can infer that without any doubt, Ian Malcom is the creator of the universe and all that we know. In Ian’s name we have already prayed and were always destined to pray. Ramen.

    God the denial. In a way, I kind of pity them. Ignorance is bliss, by acknowledging that these might be caused by us, they have to acknowledge everything else too. And frankly, it’s pretty scary to acknowledge that we’re killing off the own viability of our planet. It’s a lot easier to just pretend that these things are just normal storms happening and that everything is fine. That’s the hard uphill battle that we have right now, it’s not just convincing someone that something is happening, it’s convincing them that the world isn’t warm and fuzzy anymore and that it’s actually really terrifying

      Everyone should get a free space visit, like Captain Kirk. See the planet surrounded by the void of space. They wouldn’t take being able to live on this planet for granted anymore.

      Shit, i think i still have too much faith in mankind.

      Probably only a few would see it that way.

    God is the space to do whatever you damned well please. If you think that means you should fuck shit up, go right ahead and see how that goes for you.

    God clearly is not just ‘good’. God is just that which connects all things, and doesn’t require them to be anything but what they are. God is love.

      A hypothetical god would have the ability to end all evil, but doesn’t. God is hate.

    Unless you ask as an evangelical - in which case it doesn’t even matter because the rapture is due any day now. That’s also why they’re both antisemitic and pro-Israel at the same time. They’re biblical literalists, and also crazy

    I understand and agree with the sentiment, but I mean, aren’t wild fires supposed to be an expected natural disaster? They’re just getting worse due to more ideal conditions?
